Sauté the onions in the olive oil with the chili pepper and the cinnamon until
the onions turn translucent and soften. This takes around 10 minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients. I prefer to add the ingredients in the order
listed, stirring thoroughly after the diced tomatoes are added, to give the
beans, corn and tomatoes a chance to mingle directly with the chili powder.

Heat until hot throughout. Simmering slowly seems to help the flavor some, but
I haven't worked out the optimal time for that yet. I've been letting it simmer
for about 15 minutes, based on the recommendation of another chili recipe, and
that seems to work. Make sure to stir often to avoid burning.

If it were just me eating this, I'd go up to 1 tbsp of tabasco.

As you might guess, this recipe makes a whole lot of chili. For the two of us,
it's enough for a couple dinners and a couple lunches each. That would put it
in the neighborhood of 12-16 servings.
